Drop a little earlier in the camp process or the server may not update the drop before you finish camping. I had this happen with a Yak long ago when that was an uber item and I was so afraid of someone picking it up that I waiting until 5 seconds left before dropping. Empty zone. Came right back on new character. Still empty zone and bag not there. My client showed the bag dropping at 5 seconds, but the server apparently didn't register it before camp was finished. So bag poofed. I petitioned and was basically told 'tough luck'.

Since then I've done this many times without a problem. Just drop the bags earlier, no later than 15 seconds left in camp for the last bag (if dropping multiples). Also, I always do a /who at about 10 seconds and screenshot at 5 seconds, so if anything is gone I can at least have a record of who else was in the zone.
